PUBLIC:

After reading the post on this site about Battery's new seed program, we submitted an e-mail inquiry directly to the team members associated with our industry (financial services), including Seth Kisch in Boston. It's not clear whether there's formally a new seed stage initiative in that office, but Kisch replied to our inquiry (within 5 minutes), inviting us to submit our materials.

Less than 48 hours later, we had an answer (it was a "no" or at least a "not yet", but the feedback we got was thorough and specific). Kisch had quickly picked up on a few of the key risks surrounding the business and noted which one we needed to resolve before they could take a closer look. We definitely plan to follow up once we've resolved the issue identified as the non-starter.
